We are still looking for homes for these babies, born last August.

Meet Einstein, Juno, Nikoli, and Tootsie Pop. (Each of their names and genders are posted on their photos.)

Mom was a rat terrier and dad is likely a lab mix.

These youngsters are very smart and good-natured. Each of them would shine with a partner who will take the time to teach and train them or take them to training classes.

They'll need homes who will welcome puppy energy! They get along well with other small dogs and love to play. We would highly recommend adopting two of them together, as they already get along and play well with each other. We will offer a discount for adopters who would like to adopt two of these cuties!

Let's get these youngsters some loving homes! Please share this post!

If you are interested, please complete an adoption application at www.lcrescue.org.

Please do not call or email as we will not be able to return your call or email. Thank you!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

********************************************************
Princess Peach, a beautiful purebred standard Goldendoodle, is sweet and affectionate. She is so excited to be with people, that sometimes she forgets her manners and likes to jump up. This is certainly something that can be corrected with consistent love and training.

She is a high-energy girl and still has a lot of puppy in her. A large, fenced yard is a must so she can work off that energy! She would love to have someone to play with, so we suggest a similar breed - another dog about the same size. She's best in a home without small children.

Princess Peach is was born July 12, 2022. She's about 50 pounds and is housetrained! She is spayed and current on vaccinations.

Sadly, Princess Peach has been in two homes in her less than two years. Her first mom had to move out of state to care for a relative. Her second mom's work schedule changed to working very long hours each day, which was not fair to Princess Peach.

If you're interested in meeting Princess Peach, please complete our adoption application at www.lcrescue.org

Thank you!

Pepper is a loyal, loving, affectionate dog who is very free with his hugs and kisses!

Pepper is very smart and energetic. Pepper may be shy when meeting new people, but warms up fast and is very loving.

Pepper burns off steam with his favorite activity - playing fetch! A fenced yard and walking on leash always is required.

Pepper would do best as an only pet, as he is a resource guarder with food. This is something that can be improved with training.

Pepper's original dad had to take a new job which requires him to be traveling out of town most of the time, so there was no one to care for Pepper.

Pepper is a male Catahoula mix, born 2019, about 45 pounds, and housetrained.

PUPDATE 6/10/24: FOSTER HOME FOUND! THANK YOU ALL!

*********************************************************
Friends, we are asking urgently for a temporary
foster home for beautiful Karma, a female pit bull, 9 years old, about 35-40 pounds.

Her person has come upon some unforeseen circumstances and is unable to care for her right now. We're uncertain whether or not he'll be able to continue to be her person in the future, but for now, we are seeking a temporary foster home.

Last Chance will pay for all food and care while Karma is in a foster home.

Karma is a sweetheart, with no aggression issues. She loves people, and has been fine with other dogs and kids.

If you are interested in fostering her, please complete our adoption application on our website, at www.lcrescue.org.

Thank you all! Please SHARE this post if you can.

PUPDATE 6/10/24: ADOPTED!

**********************************************************
Mink is a male Pomeranian mix. He is adorable and he knows it. He is very affectionate once he gets to know you and a total lap dog - and he likes squeaky toys!

Mink gets along with other small and medium sized dogs, but would not mind being an only dog so he can have all of your attention and love.

Mink was surrendered by his owners because he refused to accept the new baby in the home, so he needs a home without toddlers or small children.

Mink is about 10 pounds, was born in 2015, and is housetrained.
If you are interested, please complete an adoption application at www.lcrescue.org.

Just a reminder: All lillies, as well as many other flowers and plants, are poisonous to cats, so please find out before having them in your home or giving them as gifts. If you must have them, put them in places where your pets do not go.

Additionally, chocolate and raisins can kill dogs, so take care to keep the Easter candy totally out of reach.

Have a safe and happy Easter!

Adoptable PUPPY alert!

We seldom have puppies, but now we have a bunch who are looking for their forever homes!

These five puppies were born August 2, 2023. Mom was a rat terrier and dad is likely a lab mix. At six months, the puppies weigh between 18 and 27 pounds individually.

These darlings are very smart and good natured, but they are puppies, so they need someone with a lot of patience and time to teach and train them or take them to training classes. They get along well with other small dogs, but they want to play all the time!

We have posted all their photos here with the names attached to the photos: Nikoli (m), Clover (f), Juno (f), Tootsie Pop (f), Einstein (m).

ADOPTABLE ALERT!

Feast your eyes on stunning Buddi!

Buddi's owner passed away recently and neither relatives nor friends could be found who were willing to take Buddi into their homes.

Buddi is missing his daddy and needs to find a home of his own soon! He's very frightened because of the change in his living situation, so Buddi would do best in an adult home with no other pets.

Buddie is neutered and current on vaccinations. He's fairly young, born in 2020, and about 11 pounds.

Please consider opening your home and heart to Buddi, as a foster or adoption. He needs someone to step up for him!

If you are interested, please complete an adoption application at www.lcrescue.org. Please do not call or email as we will not be able to return your call or email. Thank you!

ADOPTABLE ALERT!

Chloe's human mom had to go into assisted living, and sadly, had to give Chloe up.

Chloe, who is a Miniature Pinscher, would be happiest in a quite, adult household, like the one she had.

Born in 2011, Chloe is a small 10 pounds and housebroken.

She is laid-back, but will bark when she needs to go outside. She has not been around other dogs or children.

The min pin breed has been described in the literature as a "fearless, proud, and fun-loving."

If you're interested in meeting Chloe, please complete our adoption application, located on our website, at www.lcrescue.org. Please do not call or email as we will not be able to return your call or email.

Or, if you know someone who would be interested in Chloe, please share this post with them, or just share it on your page to help us find the best home for her!

Thank you for your support!

Several people have asked what they can do to help the rescue and Cherie while she is healing from her accident. Probably the easiest and most helpful thing right now would be a donation, no matter what size. You can send donation checks to Last Chance Rescue, PO Box 398, Schererville, IN 46375. Thank you for your prayers and support!

22/11/2023

On this Thanksgiving Eve, we just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you, our friends and supporters, for being with us every step of the way, in good times and during challenges. Rescuing and sheltering animals is never easy, but we take strength in knowing all of you support us every step of the way. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, and we hope you're able to enjoy the day tomorrow doing something you love.

13/11/2023

We wanted to let our friends and supporters know that our rescue founder Cherie was involved in an accident at home and unfortunately sustained a broken arm and two broken ribs.

We do have assistance with the physical care for the rescue's dogs and cats, but until further notice, we will not be taking in any new animals. Cherie needs a chance to rest and heal.

Your prayers for Cherie's speedy recovery are welcomed. If you'd like to send a donation for the animals to help us get through this difficult time, thank you! Last Chance Rescue, PO Box 398, Schererville, IN 46375.

Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support.

Mink is back safe and sound. A huge thank you to the Leto family for letting him into their home and caring for him until we could retrieve him, and to everyone who prayed for his safe return and kept on the lookout or watched for and/or advised us of posts. Thank you all!

28/10/2023

UPDATE 10.29.23: MINK HAS BEEN FOUND! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

****************************

Friends in the Schererville area, we need help. One of our rescue dogs, Mink, bolted out the gate late yesterday afternoon. Of course, he got scared and kept running. We tried for an hour and a half until it got dark and we lost him. He was last seen around 85th and Marquette in Schererville.

Mink is wearing a collar with his rabies tag and a Last Chance Rescue tag. He is scared and may try to bite. If someone could get him into a yard or building and call Cherie at 219.677.2961, that would be best.

Mink is maybe only pound and fairly new to the rescue. He's been doing great with the other dogs and us until he got out and became scared.

29/09/2023

Hello friends! We will be participating in this wonderful event this Sunday, October 1. Please stop by to see us!

22/09/2023

From Cherie:

Dear Facebook friends,

I'm sorry to tell you that we lost our sweet Otto yesterday.

Otto was a beagle, a sweet soul who was apparently dumped in a rural area. When we rescued him at the end of July, the vets guessed his age to be 14. He had badly infected ears, was not neutered, had a small growth on his hind quarters, and had 10 rotten teeth. There were no toes on one of his rear feet, but that was thought to be a birth defect or something that had happened many years before. This sweet little soul was dumped in a rural area.

Our vets neutered Otto, removed the growth, andremoved the rotten teeth. We treated his infected ears until they were normal. Upon recovery, Otto actually pranced like a puppy, he felt so good!

The dog books say that a Beagle's life span is usually to age 14, although they can live to be 17. I was hoping for 17, but that was not meant to be. While I miss Otto terribly, it was such a joy and an honor to have him, even though it was much too short of a time. There is no greater joy in life than knowing you have given an animal the best part of their life, no matter how long or how short. Rest in peace, sweet Otto.

25/08/2023

UPDATE 9/21/23: Otto is no longer available for adoption.

****************************************
Otto was dumped in a rural area. The fur around the neck obviously had a collar, which was likely removed by whoever dumped him.

Otto was unneutered and had horrible ear infections and ten rotten teeth. Poor little fella has no toes on his left foot, which will always be a mystery. The man who found Otto took him to a vet, who said the absence of toes was either from a birth defect or something else that happened in his younger life. No matter the cause, Otto's movement is not impaired - he gets along just fine!

Otto had a complete overhaul at our veterinary clinic, including neutering and dental, and his ear infection has cleared up. Since having all this work done, Otto acts like a puppy and feels so much better!

Everyone loves Otto! He's very loveable and very grateful to be cared for and loved. He loves to explore outside. We would love to see Otto in a home of his own, where he could enjoy being pampered. Many of you know that nothing is more rewarding than knowing you gave an animal the best part of his no matter how short or long that life might be!

Otto is a Beagle, born 2009, about 20 pounds, and housetrained.

PUPDATE 10/20/23: ROCKY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

**********************************************

Rocky is very affectionate, cuddly, and inquisitive, and he loves to explore the yard and check out all the smells outside. He loves to lie/sit on the couch and watch TV, loves being around people, and is good with other friendly dogs.

Rocky was adopted in April to a wonderful home with a dog companion. Rocky has separation anxiety. He is tall enough to take things off the kitchen counter and dining room table and is good at opening cabinets. His family loves him, but they have not found a way to communicate to Rocky that this behavior is unacceptable. The family has upcoming trips to visit family and cannot take Rocky, so they have reluctantly come to the decision that he needs a new home.

Rocky is was born in 2010, is 35 pounds, and is housetrained.

If you are interested in any of our adoptable pets, please complete an adoption application at www.lcrescue.org. Please do not call or email as we will not be able to return your call or email. Thank you!
